Forever a Fool

This is too hard

I don’t want to do it

There is simply no way

For me to get through it

Though, often, we confuse

What is hard with what stimulates

We don’t lack the ability

Rather the time that it takes

If we do not practice

Reform what is tough

Then nothing we do

Will prepare us enough

So don’t do what is hard

Do not follow this rule

Never stimulate and prepare

Remain, forever, a fool.
